The story of the woman who established the Frontier Nursing Service in the mountains of Kentucky. Mary Breckinridge, a Southern belle, born to comfort and pleasure, chose to dedicate her life to a fight against the tragic infant mortality that blighted the lives of the mountain people of Kentucky.

Her dream was to create a nursing service that would reach families who never had known the benefits of medicine. With her staff she rode horseback to the most remote cabins and worked under the most primitive conditions. She died at the age of 84, but the Frontier Nursing Service lives on and with it the memory of an indomitable woman who overcame all odds to turn a humanitarian dream into reality.
